Arlo’s Zoom integration brings Zoom’s premium web conferencing functionality together with Arlo’s purpose-built training management system.
Zoom allows people to connect virtually from anywhere, across any device and this lends itself to running webinars and hosting online training perfectly for training providers. It’s super easy to use and you can get going in minutes.
Once connected to Zoom, you can easily schedule webinars using Arlo's scheduling tools. Webinars scheduled in Arlo are automatically created in Zoom as Zoom meetings.
Arlo registrants will automatically receive the Zoom meeting room details in their registration instructions, as well as a calendar appointment, reminders, follow up emails, and surveys (if enabled).
Zoom has a suite of features that allow you to create highly engaging online environments for your registrants to learn.
- Online webinar hosting – obviously this is the big feature and the reason why Zoom is a great webinar tool.
- Breakout rooms – as the presenter you can split people into virtual breakout groups and then go back and forth between them.
- Virtual whiteboards – as a presenter you can share a whiteboard with the attendees and engage with them in that way. You can also allow the attendees to write on the board too.
- Instant message – use the instant messaging feature to engage with attendees. Ask attendees to post their questions on the live chat for later in the webinar or answer them live.
- File transferring – with Zoom you can deliver resources to your attendees such as slide notes or readings.
